- B.
  
  Nasal Decongestant
- C.
  
  Bronchodialator
- D.

Explanation
Levosalbutamol and Terbutaline are both bronchodilators. Bronchodilators are medications that relax and widen the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe.

These medications work by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, allowing for better airflow and relieving symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Ambroxol is a Mucolytic agent.
- A.
  
  True
- B.

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent, meaning it helps to break down and thin mucus in the respiratory tract.

By reducing the thickness of mucus, ambroxol can make it easier to clear the airways and improve breathing. Therefore, the statement "Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent" is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

A. True

Explanation
Serratiopeptidase is indeed a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it is capable of breaking down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. This enzyme is derived from the bacteria Serratia marcescens and has been used for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. By breaking down proteins, serratiopeptidase can help reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. Therefore, the statement "Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme" is true.
